In The Mirror

In the mirror I don't see me!

Mirrors show reflections
true.
Who stands here now
reflected?
Unclear to me I question
who stares back at me from this framed image?
Could be
I am dreaming and not reality?
Am I only hoping, yes,
I am dreaming.
This haggard woman mocks me
with her sullenness, furrowed brow, age spotted skin
I am looking in a mirror but my reflection
not as I know me to be!
Yesterday I was young with bright eyes of blue,
youth is fleeting.
